Endangered Bruijn's Brush-turkey photographed for the first time
in the wild on a PE exploratory bird tour
From March 18 till April 9, 2007 PE resident birders
Iwein Mauro and Zeth Wonggor guided British bird watcher Charles
Davies on an exploratory bird tour to Mount Danai on Waigeo Island,
and comfortably sat him down in a hide located just four meters
away from an active nest mound of Bruijn's Brush-turkey Aepypodius
bruijnii. The mound-tending male and a soliciting female performed,
and the group was in the fortunate opportunity to secure the first
photographs in the wild of this nearly mythical species, which was
only first tracked down in the field as recently as 2002 by Mauro
on Mount Nok.
